I had the opportunity to ride
the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure with this incredible bunch
of people this year. We rode various mileages for each of our own
reasons. Some of us rode in memory of friends or loved ones living
with diabetes. Others of us rode for people that have passed away
battling the effects of the disease.

With the help of Jeremy and
my friend Greg Hickey in Texas, we'd rounded up enough ADA tokens that have
been traveling across the country to represent each member of our team.
I will return the tokens, along with the stories of riding along with us on
this ride, to their trip across the country.

Our collective fund raising
efforts netted the American Diabetes Association $5,375 with Wai being our
fund raising golden child. His supporters helped him achieve a $2,105
contribution!! Once again, I'm humbled by the heart and soul that my
teammates and donors contribute to this event. Thank you all for your
hard work!! I'm honored to have shared the same bit of pavement with
you!!
